A Healthy and Attractive Table.

A Healthy and Attractive Table.

Having prepared meals that are healthy and tasty, it is now time to serve and eat the food. Although it may not seem obvious, the table setting also influences our health. If the foods we eat as part of these healthy recipes are exert their full preventive and curative effect, they should be presented and consumed appropriately. While it is true that the food we eat and the way they are cooked are important the following factors also influence our health: 

·         Our Attitude when we eat ;that is ,we do exhibit a happy spirit or are we stressed and worried

·         Wherewe are served, whether on an unattractive, carelessly-laid table or in a neat, orderly environment

·         When we eat, in a unplanned manner or while under pressure, or in a timely and regular patterns;

·         Also with Whom we eat.

All these factors physiologically influence the way in which our body digests and assimilatefood.

DO NOT EAT BETWEEN MEALS.

The presentation of the table along with where and when the meal is eaten is very important and with great effect to our Physiological Significance.  Between each meal the Digestive Organs must recuperate from the work performed. I suggest five hours is the ideal resting time necessary between meals to prevent digestive overload that can negatively affect general health.

A Healthy Table.

Besides what I have already said, this simple advice can also help in producing good digestion and health

·         Establish and follow a regular meal schedule

·         Avoid foods that are too Hot or Cold

·         Adjust the menu according to the partakers of the meal, bearing in mind such factors as physical or intellectual occupation, periods of growth, pregnancy and old age difficulty in chewing etc.

·         Would like to comment on this further more as according to Africa clans we need to give it a great reformation meaning about Dressing the foods in a tasty manner while avoiding Chemical Additives(such as artificial coloring) or irritating spices, careful with salt rates and try our best to use only vegetable Oils in moderation such as Olive Oil (Mafuta ya Alizeti)
